I'm a Registered Architect working on Hudson Yards, the largest private real estate development in the history of the United States. I've wanted to be an Architect for as long as I can remember.
I write software(originally PC based and now web based) to make my life easier. I started coding Basic at a very young age. It came naturally to me. I took a C++ class in high school, but aside from that I'm completely self taught.
I'm here because I'm fascinated by the industry and the people. You can't get a better cross section of what is happening in this industry then on this site.
Also, maybe one day I'll develop a product that is useful to me and useful to others. So having some background on start-ups could help, right?
